Application filed January 30. 1906- Serial No. 298,671.

Patented Au 7, 1906.

To all whom it may concerrw.

Be it known that I, WINFIELD S. COOPER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Braddock, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accom anying drawings.

T is invention relates to certain new and useful im rovements in to s; and the invention has or its primary 0 ject to rovide a toy adapted to afford considerab e amusement to juveniles.

Another object of this invention is to provide a realistic to embodying a miniature vehicle having lifeike figures thereon adapted to erform when the vehicle is drawn or over a surface.

A further object of this invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive to that can be easily operated by a child or 0t er person for their own amusement or the amusement of others.

With the above and other objects in view, which will more readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts to' be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and, referring to the drawings accompanying this application, like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved toy. Fig. 2 is a plan thereof. Fig. 3 is a rear end view of the toy.

To put my invention into practice, I construct my improved toy of a miniature vehicle 1, embodying a latform 2, mounted iie truck 4 being provided with a suitable pivoted handle 5, whereby the vehicle may be conveniently moved over a surface.-

Upon the platform 2 of the vehicle, at the sides thereof, are erected standards 6 6, 7 7, and 8 8, the central standards7 7 being of a. greater height than the end standards 6 6 and 8 8; Between the standards are journaled shafts 9, 10, 11, and 12, the shafts 9 and 11 being provided with sets of outwardly-extending arms or brackets 14 14, while the shaft is provided with two sets of diametrically-opposed arms or brackets 15 15. Pivotall mounted between the sets of arms or brac ets 14 14 and 15 15 are miniature lifelike-figures 16, having jointed bodies, which when moved are adapted to rese'rnble the lifelike movements of living beings.

The outer ends of the shafts 9, 10, 11, and- '12 are provided with grooved pulley or cable wheels 17, 18, 19, and 20, res ectively, while the rear axle 21 of the truck 3 is provided with a grooved pulley or cable wheel 22. Upon the shaft 11 is an extra grooved pulley or cable wheel 23, while on the end of the shaft 12 are mounted two extra grooved pul ley or cable wheels 24 and 25.

The cable-wheels 18 and 19 are connected together by an endless cable 26, wheels 23 and 24 by a cable 27, wheels 17 and by a cable 28, and wheels 25 and 22 by a cable 29, whereby when a rotary movement is imparted to the shaft 21 by pulling the toy over a surface a rotary movement is imparted to each one of the shafts 9, 10, 11, and 12, thereby causing the miniature figures 16 to revolve about the shafts similar to a person doing the giant swing upon 'a horizontal bar.

It will be observed that the shaft 10 is pro vided with two diametrically-opposed figures 16, andin this connection I desire it to be unures may be suitably ornamented or dressed to represent clowns or acrobats.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is

. The combination in a Wheeled toy, of a wagon-body and truck supporting the same, a plurality of airs of standards carried'b said wagon-b0 y, one of said pairs of stan ards being of greater height than the remain- 'ders tood that two figures may be also used upon theshafts 9 and 11 andthat these figing pairs of standards, shafts journaled' in I cable engaging said pulley and the pulley on each of said pairs of standards, arms carried the second-named shaft.

by said shafts, figures pivotally mounted in In testimony whereof I afiix my signature said arms, a pulley on one end of each shaft, in the presence of two witnesses.

cables engaging said pulleys, a second shaft WINFIELD S. COOPER. journaled in one of said pairs of standards Witnesses; and having a ulle therein, a pulley on the E. E. POTTER, rear axle of t e w eeled body and a drive- K. H. BUTLER.
